Chapter 168: The oriole is behind
"I heard that a political rule is emerging in China, and that the power of this country is being held in the hands of a group of engineers. ●⌒,"
"Engineers are in power? Oh my God, this is such a savage country!"
"Yes, a real modern cooking country should be governed by a lawyer who understands the law!"
"Ahem, oh, of course, of course!"
“Those who are in power should fully listen to the voices of the people, especially”
"Wall Street!"
"Haha, right!"
Edgar picked up half a glass of champagne from the plate held by the waiter, nodded and greeted several familiar clients, and then walked slowly to the window, looking down at the view outside the window.
The streets are brightly lit at night. This street, which is only about 500 meters long and not more than 11 meters wide, only seven sections from Broadway, New York to the East River.
However, such a short and narrow street has a name that makes the world famous, just like the big copper bull in the focus of Edgar's eyes, it has become the business card of the city.
That's right, the name of this street is Wall Street, the legendary world's largest abyss of sin.
Being able to hold a social dinner in a building next to Wall Street is not easy for Edgar and his family.
Of course, it wouldn't be too difficult if you just want to borrow a piece of Wall Street. You can do it as long as you are willing to pay.
But if you want to hold a decent social dinner, it is not enough to just be willing to spend money. First of all, you must be particularly rich.
Of course, Edgar's family did not have such influence, but with the help of Motorola and some reasons, the guests who came to the dinner today would not seem shabby than other banquets.
Especially when Edgar's father, Old Edgar, walked into the banquet hall with a young man, there was a buzzing and low communication in the entire banquet hall, and many eyes fell on him.
And the young man seemed to have become accustomed to this kind of scene and was chatting with old Edgar on his own.
Although everyone in the banquet hall had to turn their eyes on this young man from time to time, the reserved upper class banquets were not so reckless. Only when Old Edgar enthusiastically introduced some people with special identities to him would someone show a "deep honor" expression and talk to the young man for a few words.
"This is my son David Edgar, who currently works in the legal department of Motorola and is an attorney at Edgar & Hoover."
Needless to ask, one of the owners of this Edgar & Hoover law firm is naturally Edgar.
"Edgar, this is Mr. Hunter, Hunter DuPont."
Regarding the introduction of this young man, Old Edgar only said this sentence. However, this sentence alone has expressed enough information because there is such a surname in his name. DuPont.
"Hello Mr. Hunter, I am David Edgar. Welcome to today's dinner. I hope our hospitality will satisfy you."
"Oh, there is nothing satisfactory about it. There are such things everywhere, dull and boring." Hunter DuPont swept away Edgar's face simply and without any awareness of being a guest.
However, facing this young man named DuPont, the two Edgars could only listen to his complaints with a smile. There was no way, who would let the surname DuPont be?
The DuPont family is a very unique family and consortium in the United States. The DuPont consortium does not have the support of the banking and financial industry, but can rank among the top ten consortiums in the United States. The DuPont family is the same age as the United States, and has lasted for more than two hundred years but still has great power over the DuPont consortium and has become a typical family trust.
Although the proportion of members of the DuPont family on the board of directors of the DuPont consortium has become smaller and smaller, the decision-making power of the DuPont consortium is still firmly controlled by the DuPont family.
The DuPont family, which has been able to last for more than 200 years, is quite strict in cultivating family children. Any DuPont family who can stay in the DuPont consortium and climb to a high position at least has their own pride capital.
Although Hunter DuPont is unkind, rude and frivolous, his current evaluation in the DuPont family is very good, and he has performed better in the financial industry of the DuPont family's shortcomings.
As a chemical industry giant in the United States, Motorola wants to enter the battery industry to develop thin-film water lithium batteries, seeking DuPont's help is the fastest way.
Little Edgar suddenly pulled off the tie that was being beaten and then killed half a glass of champagne in his hand. With a snap, the champagne glass in his hand was released. After a period of free fall exercise, he had an intimate contact with the ground.
Hunter DuPont was obviously stunned, then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and finally nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, although the banquet is as unbearable as a shroud, at least there are still some interesting people."
Edgar Jr. obviously touched Hunter DuPont's pulse and tried to try: "Hey, I know there is a small roadside restaurant run by a black man three blocks away. Listening to his barbecue ribs, it is said that even Vice President Shime praised it. Later, he caused a lot of trouble in Washington, and then he came to New York. Do you want to try it?"
"Okay, is his baking method French or American?"
“American, pure American grilled rib recipe!”
...
Next to an unknown small street in New York, there is a dilapidated wooden restaurant. There are three open-air tables and chairs in the small yard next to the restaurant.
Hunter DuPont tore all the meat from the last piece of rib into his stomach. He was not satisfied, so he dripped the bread on the dining plate with gravy and simply wiped the plate clean.
"Okay, very good!" Hunter Dupont gave a thumbs up, obviously quite satisfied with the grilled ribs in this "fly restaurant".
"I've eaten the appetizer, Mr. Edgar, can we serve as staple food?" Hunter DuPont wiped his hands with a tissue, and his expression suddenly became serious.
"A Chinese, a stinky brat of about 18 or 19 years old, will be our goal." Edgar had already finished his own portion, and then raised his spirits and said: "This kid has a technology called water lithium battery, which can reduce the price of secondary rechargeable batteries by 30% to 50%. This new rechargeable battery has no memory effect yet, and the market prospects are quite good."
"Oh, a technical genius! I like such a little guy!" Hunter DuPont was excited: "The most wonderful thing about capital is to quietly master a high-quality enterprise, then kick its founder out, destroy other people's efforts, burn the life of a company, and finally continue to find the next goal with the plundered interests! And especially those simple plaid shirts, appreciating their desperate expressions is even more interesting than the most expensive operas on Broadway!"
"Yes, this self-righteous Chinese man also created a patent trap, but the ridiculous people from Motorola's Technology Department had no choice but to deal with him. However, the Chinese people's thinking limits their horizons. This world is not something that can be determined by any technology, but law and capital."
"Yes, only capital can decide everything." Hunter DuPont simply threw the law aside.
"Ahem, now the Chinese have a proposal to cooperate with Motorola to develop the third-generation technology of this water lithium battery, that is, thin-film water lithium battery. The prospects of this battery are simply terrifying in principle."
"Haha, the prospect of nuclear fusion is also very scary." Hunter disdained this.
"It's different. It is said that the technology of thin-film water lithium battery seems to be that feasible."
Edgar Jr. was very tempted: "I just don't know if DuPont is interested in Motorola?"
Hunter DuPont leaned against the chair, looked at Edgar calmly with his hands on his chest: "DuPont is interested in any business, but at the same time, DuPont always looks at the world with a skeptical look."
"Okay, then I'll just say it." Edgar Xiao decided to go straight to the point: "In order to cooperate in the water lithium battery market, Motorola and China are likely to jointly establish a company. Motorola takes out the water lithium battery patents in hand, and China takes out a considerable number of the peripheral and core patents of water lithium batteries, as well as the US agency rights of Jinlong Battery. The development of thin-film water lithium battery technology will be undertaken by this company."
"Well, it seems that this is indeed a promising company."
"No, as far as I know, Motorola has other plans."
"how?"
"Motorola is preparing to put aside the Chinese and drag the development progress of the third generation of water lithium batteries in the joint venture, but it starts its own efforts to catch up with the Chinese's technological advantages."
What Edgar Jr. said was definitely Motorola's trade secrets, but neither party took this seriously. If the truth was revealed, Edgar Jr. had the support of his lawyer's father and Hunter had the DuPont family, there wouldn't be any serious punishment anyway.
Hunter picked his teeth with a toothpick and pondered for a moment: "Motorola has really put in a lot of effort when fighting on two fronts."
"I remember DuPont's technology in polymer materials is very advanced. If we can secretly acquire shares in the company in the hands of Chinese people and obtain the relevant patent use rights for water lithium batteries, DuPont will develop thin-film ion penetration materials faster than Motorola. At that time, Motorola will face..."
Edgar Jr. was still unsatisfied with his words, but Hunter DuPont smiled with satisfaction.
"Not bad, really good."
"Haha, as long as Mr. Hunter feels satisfied."
